Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. GELLER, James J. [219] pp. The Macaulay Company 1934 9 1/2" x 7 1/2" Illustrated from woodcuts by John Held, Jr. THOSE who were theatregoers back in the Nineties can enjoy a pleasantly nostalgic experience by reading this book. Mr. Geller, who has published a sort of forerunner to the volume in his "Famous Songs and Their Stories," has here gathered together the stories of plays that were famous at various times during the last century, arranging them in chronological order. Through its pages one can glance backward through the accounts of such theatrical successes as "Florodora," "Ben Hur," "Way Down East," "Trilby," "Jim the Penman," "Shore Acres," "The Heart of Maryland," "The Silver King," "Two Orphans," "Colleen Bawn," "Rip Van Winkle," and a great many others, until the tale takes one back beyond living memories to the plays, successful and famous in their time, of a hundred years ago. But those of forty and fifty years ago will waken many a memory in the hearts of older readers and theatregoers' Mr. Geller has done a lot of painstaking investigation in his effort to provide the full story of each of these fifty plays. He tells about whatever matters of importance attended the writing and the production of the play, who wrote it, who produced it and who played the chief parts and whether success came at once or with lagging step.
